Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Jakobi Meyers

Saturday, October 4, 10:27 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is back under consideration for a starting lineup spot in fantasy football ahead of his Week 5 clash with the Buffalo Bills. After an underwhelming start to the season, Diggs exploded with six catches and 101 yards against the Panthers last week. The matchup gets a little tougher this week, as the Bills have allowed the sixth-fewest receiving yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Nevertheless, the veteran receiver is coming off a big game and has earned a commitment from quarterback Drake Maye, who vowed to throw more passes his way. Plus, we can't ignore the negative game script and revenge game narrative this weekend. Diggs is a worthwhile WR3/flex option.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen his production dip in recent weeks, as younger playmakers in the offense continue to carve out larger roles. In Week 4 against the Bears, Meyers caught just four of seven targets for 30 yards, with his longest reception going for only 10 yards. The outing marked his third consecutive game with declining yardage totals, raising concerns about his ceiling moving forward. Despite those struggles, Meyers still led the team in targets last week, showing he remains a trusted option for Geno Smith in the passing game. While the lack of big plays limits his upside, his steady volume keeps him relevant as a flex play, particularly in PPR formats. Fantasy managers should view Meyers as a safe but low-ceiling option heading into Week 5.
